earlier tonight i wrote most of the first song i've written in ages, and it's the best song i've written in years! it may be one of my best ever.
it's acoustic. the lyrics are pretty good, too. it's a plea to a friend who needs to take a break and get her head together. (go figure.) and the music itself is actually surprisingly original, although the chorus is definitely reminiscent of classic americana roots-rock.
and it all came together so fast! i had to take a break because i was being positively gangrushed by the ol' creative spark!
actually, i'm not done quite yet, and i may end up making the chorus into a prechorus for something even more rousing. we'll see. i might also go ahead and put the other six strings back on the ol' Yamaha 12-er. normally, it really hurts to play with all 12 strings, because of my finger problem. but this song just kind of seems to want me to anyway.
obviously, i'm excited as all-get-out. hell, i'm glowing! *blush*
for those unfortunates who've heard
my music @ mp3.com, it's nothing like that stuff. that stuff is either old stuff from my folk, grunge and synthpop days (yes, they were actually the same days), or it's modern funky electronica.
in fact the last few good actualsongs i've written have all been pretty good, darkish, folky, pop rock. most of them are acoustic songs these days. when and if i ever get my recording gear either repaired or replaced, you'll know
for certain how much i fuckin' rule ;) i've got a decent little backlog of stuff now. all i need to do is get them recorded properly.
